Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 MLB season is alive and well and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best, and easiest to win, MLB DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For MLB, Single Stat consists of pitcher strikeout props as well as hitter props in which you determine if the pitcher or hitter in question will go over or under their projected total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. For today's article, we are going to look at four hitters from two different teams that are projected to have big nights.

Single Stat MLB Totals
Bo Bichette over 1.5 Runs+RBI - Bo gets a tremendous matchup tonight against Matt Harvey as Harvey is allowing a .364 BAA as well as five home runs to right-handers across 168 batters. The Blue Jays are projected to score nearly 6.5 runs in this game and Bichette figures to play a key role in that. Over the previous two weeks, Bichette has hit .327 with three home runs, 15 runs scored, and 15 RBI, so his productions has been superb.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. over 1.5 Runs+RBI - Vlad gets the same matchup vs. Harvey as Bichette and that is great news for him as well. Over the previous two weeks, Guerrero Jr. is hitting .380 with six home runs, 12 runs scored, and 12 RBI. Both him and Bichette have been on fire and should be able to take advantage of Harvey as well as an Orioles pen that is posting a 7.09 ERA over the past 15 days, which is ranked dead last in baseball. The Orioles' pen has allowed 20 home runs over that same span, which is ranked sixth-worst in baseball.
Yordan Alvarez over 1.5 Runs+RBI - Alvarez is another hitter that has been on a tear over the previous two weeks as he is hitting .313 with four home runs, 12 runs scored, and 14 RBI. He is also surrounded by scorching hot hitters in the Astros lineup with guys like Michael Brantley and Jose Altuve ahead of him and Carlos Correa and Kyle Tucker behind him. There should be plenty of traffic on the bases for him to achieve this total tonight. He will also be facing Tigers' right-hander, Wily Peralta who has allowed two of the nine left-handed hitters he has faced to go deep off him. Once Peralta's stint is over, Alvarez will face a Tigers' pen that has the fourth-worst ERA over the past 15 days with an ERA of 5.74.
Michael Brantley over 1.5 Runs+RBI - We are not overthinking this at all today. The Astros have an implied total of near six runs, so two hitters from their scorching hot lineup could certainly work tonight. Brantley is hitting a ridiculous.500 with one home run, 10 runs scored, and 14 RBI over the previous two weeks. He makes a ton of sense in a prop like this considering he will be batting in the two-hole and will have ample opportunity to score as well as drive runs in.
